25th Anniversary Celebration Honorees
On Friday, June 12, we celebrated Judy Exton, Steve Apkon, and Carrie Coon, along with our honored guest, Secretary Hillary Clinton. Proceeds from the Framing Our Future 25th Anniversary Gala support our film and education programs.
The evening was also an opportunity to celebrate our vibrant community and all that we have accomplished together over the past 25 years. It was a memorable, exciting, and inspiring event that brought our entire Jacob Burns Film Center campus to life.
